• Notes

  Rebecca Bright appears on the 1841 census for Whittlesford as being aged 15. When George and Rebecca came to Australia, Rebecca stated that she had relatives in the colony, John Pitts, a ropemaker, and Ann Robinson of Sydney. She said that they were a nephew and niece. Pitts is John Pett. (Research):(John Pett, 24, agricultural labourer. from Wimpole, Cambridgeshire, arrived in Sydney on the "Lloyds" in 1855. His father was Jesse, mother was Sarah. Jesse Pett married Sarah Brown in 1822, in Wimpole. Parents may have been Thomas Pett, who married Sara Crow, 1795, in Wimpole. Thomas Pett, widower, married Suzanne Bright 1828 in Whittlesford, near Wimpole.)
